Rome...

It wasn't built in a day -- and it's not visited in a day either!

What loooonnnnggg day today was. We docked at Civi---- somethingorother early this morning. We then took a 1.5 hour bus ride to Rome. We bought tickets for one of those double decker tour buses where you can get on and off whenever you want. We toured all the 'typical' places (St. Peter's Square, Trevi Fountain, Colleseum). We then just wandered -- stopped for a nice lunch where I wrote out some postcards and popped them in the mail. :-)

All the historic roman architecture in this city is amazing. And I certainly enjoyed it more with someone driving the bus then I did when we arrived in Rome and drove around for 5 hours trying to find our hotel... lol I didn't take a lot of pictures tho...really hard to do, so I bought postcards instead. Plus I have all the pictures from when we were here 11 years ago.

We've just pulled out of port. We have dinner at 9pm, but we'll be on our own. Our table companions have booked into a restaurant onboard.

Tomorrow we dock in Liverno (I think that's right). From there we go see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. After that -- I think we in Florence, but I'm not sure. May just be back on the ship.

Greg's foot is better, however my rash isn't. It's spreading. Plus my feet/lower leg are swollen quite bad. Almost 3 x their normal size. Greg says I have Homer Simpson feet... :-/ I went to the spa after we got back on board and then put some cooling lotion and told me to go put my feet up for 15 minutes, which I did. I go back just before dinner for them to do it again. I've booked a foot message for 7pm tomorrow, which I'm sure will feel great after another long day.

Anyways...that's all the news for today. No casino yesterday and probably not today either. I'll make up for it later tho... ;-)

Ciao!
